MAKERS is a landmark digital and broadcast initiative from AOL and PBS showcasing compelling stories from women of today and tomorrow. The film tells the story of how women have helped shape America over the last 50 years in one of the most sweeping social revolutions in our country’s history, as they pursued their rights to a full and fair share of political power, economic opportunity and personal autonomy.

witf has created a local version of this project to complement the film. We’re collecting inspiring and untold stories of remarkable Central Pennsylvania women.
